Did capital expenditure make operating cash flow negative?
This hypothetical example uses units of KRW 100 million. Assume net income of 100, depreciation of 10, an increase in receivables of 140 and all other cash-flow adjustments of 0. Operating cash flow is 100+10-140=-30. Deducting capital expenditure of 20 gives a simple free-cash-flow figure of -50. Separate receivables reducing operating cash flow from investment spending further reducing free cash flow.
Check for yourself
- Have cumulative cash-flow disclosures been distinguished from stand-alone quarters?
- Have receivable due dates, acceptance conditions, overdue amounts and subsequent actual collections been checked?
Limits of application
These figures do not reconstruct Neosem’s financial statements. Inventory, payables, provisions, tax, interest, currency and other adjustments are omitted, and free cash flow uses a simplified definition. Negative cash flow alone establishes neither accounting fraud nor an equity offering, while strong customers do not guarantee immediate collection or borrowing capacity.
- What to look for
- Examine the relationship between product mix and profitability while comparing how the speakers interpret the same financial information differently.
- Why it matters
- Separate quarterly and cumulative cash flows from investment spending, and connect growth narratives with checks on collection terms, financing assumptions and product-development stages.
Timeline
9 segmentsThe presenter examines funding risk through earnings versus cash flow, receivables and planned factory investment, but later clarifies that an equity issue is a personal scenario. Check operating cash flow through receivables, inventory, payables and non-cash adjustments, separating these from capital expenditure reducing free cash flow. Funding needs and potential share supply also depend on payment timing, borrowing capacity, instrument terms and issuance disclosures rather than cash balances or the presenter’s estimates alone.
